Eliyahu Pardess


Title:  New York 9/11
Year: 2009
Size: 100x100 cm
Description: Acrylic On Canvas
Value: $2500

About the Artwork:
The artist used a technique of color- scratching to express his anger and pain caused by the 9/11 events. The white background was chosen to express optimism and hope for a better future.

About the Artist: 
My name is Eliyahu Pardess, residing in Ra'anana Israel.
From an early age I discovered a great love of art in all its forms, especially painting.
During my stay for several years in Chile, I had a pleasure of studying painting and drawing with one of the greatest painters of Chile Mr. Fernando Torterolo.
In addition, I studied painting at Art Academy in Santiago.
I am currently studying at the Art Center in Ra'anana with the artist Gad Apotheker as well as being a member of Ra'anana Painters society.
With love and lots of pleasure, I am painting in Studio "Pardess" in Ra'anana.
Over the years, I presented my paintings in several exhibitions in Chile, Italy and Israel.

Eran Shakine



Title: John and Yoko, London, 1968
Year: 2010
Size: 100x80cm
Description: Paintstick on canvas
Value: $6500
About the Artwork:
From: Caricature Development, By: Barbara A. MacAdam, Art News, Nov 2012
“I’m interested in the progress of how culture heroes are created,” explains Shakine, who was born in Israel and divides his time between Tel Aviv and London. His collection of heavily limned caricatures, published by Hirmer, reimagines cultural histories and popular images, bringing his subjects down to his earth. Shakine’s art is mostly speculative. “Who knows why Van Gogh cut his ear off?” he wonders. “Was it because of a love affair, or a fight with Gauguin? Or maybe he painted himself with a bandage so it will look more interesting? “I didn’t have to actually meet my subjects—I Googled them,” Shakine says of his process. “Wikipedia will tell me all. And if they have a blog, a Facebook page, or a site, I will know enough to marry them. So I guess you can say my drawings are made of 50 percent public relations, 40 percent gossip, and 10 percent imagination.”

About the Artist:
Eran Shakine is an Isreali contemporary painter and sculptor, and works and lives in Tel Aviv. He studied at the Wizo Art School in Tel Aviv, Israel and has exhibited predominantly in Israel, but his exhibitions have reached as far across the globe as Paris and New York City. His work can be found in museum collections such as The British Museum, London, Ludwig Museum, Aachen, Germany, The Drawing Center, New York, Israel Museum, Jerusalem, Tel Aviv Museum, Tel Aviv Herzliya Museum, Israel and the Ein Harod Museum, Israel.

Shakine depicts subtle images that are rough and abstract in their renderings. His subjects are more evocative than descriptive, and hint at memories hidden in the landscape. Flocks of goats traversing indecipherable landscapes, Pools resembling ancient architecture, and whimsical narratives of John Lennon and Yoko Ono are all frequent subject matters in Shakine’s twenty-year career.

Shakine was honored this year and chosen among a multitude of Israeli artists to design and create the largest sculpture in Israel.  This sculpture was commissioned and will be displayed in the city of Holon, Israel.

About the Artwork:
The images I collect for my drawing come from an imaginary world where I make up non-normative people or situations, or alternately I create a form or a normative base and then "corrupt" it. With out knowing how the drawing will end, I follow my hand movements building a story between human figures and animals.
